In the night when the kingdom of Incantasi has been conquered by the tyrant Henry, Cassandra Monfort is born-a girl who could save the kingdom from the evil ruler's hands. When the seal appears on her twelfth year, her whole life changes. King Henry orders the execution of her parents, and it happens before her very eyes. But luckily, Cassandra is saved by a group of bandits who takes her in their care. She vows for revenge, an oath to make the tyrant pay for her parents' unjust death. Bryce, the leader of the bandits, hides her identity by making her dress up like a man and trains her to be a fighter under her new name, Miles. A plan is all she has. But things get shaky when she meets the Prince of Incantasi, Lancelot. The once driven Miles finds herself falling for the man who is the enemy's son. Will she choose her heart or the fate of the kingdom that lies in her hands?

In the era where swords rule, where women consider their modesty their greatest virtue. Where a man would kill to find his wife warming another mans bed, a time when women would consider it the greatest of adultery or fornication to warm a bed other than her husbands. A time when an honorable man guards his gaze, for his gaze is solely for his wife alone, as well as his heart. He's feared, ruthless, cold, heartless, manipulative, cunning, a rake. Or so they assume... She's beautiful yet silent, not by a defect, she simply dislikes to mingle with gossip.Yet she has emotional scars that no one sees behind her smile, but a few. Cover by @forcade

It's been three months since former enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon and the notorious assassin Sicarius thwarted kidnappers and saved the emperor's life. The problem? Nobody knows they were responsible for this good deed. Worse, they're being blamed for the entire scheme. With enforcers and bounty hunters stalking them, and the emperor nursing a personal hatred for Sicarius, it's going to be hard to earn exoneration. When Amaranthe's team discovers mutilated bodies in the city aqueducts and a mysterious illness incapacitates thousands of citizens, she and Sicarius see an opportunity to solve the mystery and prove their loyalty. But they'll have to defeat vengeful shamans, man-eating predators, and deadly mechanical constructs, all while dodging imperial soldiers who would rather kill them than accept their help.

I'm so sorry for the confusion but this is the third book to my "Mark of the Royals" series. The second book is "Royal Pain: The Origin" which is also being sold at Amazon if you'd like a hard copy. So if you haven't read the first book and I'm sure most of you haven't read the second then this book will only confuse you till then. Also if some of the chapters are missing try updating your wattpad app or refreshing it. This book is completed so you should be able to read all of it. THIS IS THE UNEDITED VERSION SO DON'T HATE BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. If you love two people at the same time, choose the second one. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second. - Johnny Depp It has been ten years since Darius and Deva have taken the throne. Their rule together had brought the kingdom to great triumph and the lycans are now more free to live without fear. Everything is going well for Deva and her life until an ancient lycan curse arises. The Relic Moon threatens to ruin every lycans dream of ever living in true peace with the vampires. Then an old enemy shows up to help Queen Deva contain the situation. Adamarius wants nothing more than to be in Deva's life and teach her how to embrace the pain of the curse. But with him will come the secrets of the past. Secrets that will bring everyone she loves to their breaking points. Anger will rise, trust will be tested, but most of all pain will be inevitable. And as always I promise the book will not disappoint.

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
